******** Using TweakBIOS with Windows NT *******
TweakBIOS cannot be run under Windows NT, as it denies
direct access to hardware.
You can use TweakBIOS under some other operating system
and then reboot to Windows NT, but the settings will be
lost when you reboot.
But there is a workaround, though.
With TweakBIOS comes a program called INT19.EXE
which can start Windows NT (or any other OS for that matter)
*without* rebooting the computer.
The program can only be used if HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE (or
some other memory manager) have *NOT* been loaded. Therefore
you should create a bare bootdisk which only runs TweakBIOS
and INT19.EXE.
Here's what you should do:
1. Create a DOS bootdisk using the SYS command.
2. Make an AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the disk, containing
only the following lines:
@ECHO OFF
C:\TWEAK\TWEAKS.EXE
C:\TWEAK\INT19.EXE
(make sure you give the correct path to the TweakBIOS files)
3. Now you can boot from the floppy, and TweakBIOS will be
run automatically. Then INT19.EXE will ask you to remove the
floppy from the drive, and it will restart the operating
system from the hard disk.
